This week the Plymouth Park Board approved a lease agreement with Verizon to place 4 small cells on wood utility poles in Centennial Park.
Last year during the Blueberry Festival Verizon brought in a mobile antenna truck to provide additional cell phone coverage in the park during the 4 day festival. The company decided a year-round solution would be a better option.
The lease agreement calls for a one-time payment of $9,487.50 and an annual payment of $6,000. Verizon will have their equipment metered and pay their own electric bills. There will be no cost to the park at all.
A representative from Jacob’s Engineering Group, the company handling Verizon improvements told the Park Board the 2 foot antennas will be placed on 2 existing poles and 2 new replacement poles.
